To the members of the Fagan family, Deepest sympathy is expressed to you as you deal with the passing of a father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend to so many people. I can still see the twinkle and spark in your dad's eyes when we'd see each other in church or out in the community someone. He was a man who loved life and wanted to share that joy with others. I believe that in all he did through the years, he wore his faith well - never pushing it on others but gently showing that God's love for him was available for everyone else as well. With your late mom, he raised a very good family, one which he was very proud of. As you go through this low time, always remember that our time on earth is a passing, fleeting one and that our time with our heavenly Father is forever. Rejoice that you dad has "gone home" even through your sadness. He'll never be far away - always in your hearts. Margaret and I will continue to pray for you as the days go by so that you don't focus on the loss but rather the joys in your dad's life. Sorry we can't be with you now but you're never far from us in prayer. May he rest in peace and rise in Glory.
